Reinhard,
It's also worth noting that with pdftex one can add graphics
using /pdfannot. For instance, the attached gigapan.pdf
shows the flight-deck of the space shuttle, Discovery,
with an impressive level of detail. Of course, the downside
is that such PDFs require Adobe Reader 9.x, or greater
(9.3.4 on Linux) and so are not strictly portable.
Nevertheless the approach has its place.
